filesystem is a schema, an organization of things on the disc.
examples of a filesystem are FAT (used in MSDOS and Windows 9x),
NTFS (Windows NT, 2000, XP), or UFS, which is used in BSD unices.
you can make your FreeBSD understand various filesystems:
ISO 9660 (the filesystem used on CDs), FAT, NTFS, ext2 (Linux),
etc.
